Liquid Capital founder Yi Lihua said Bitcoin's prolonged range-bound trading since the pullback from $86,000 represents one of the greatest tests of patience for investors and traders. In a post on X, he drew parallels to Ethereum's extended consolidation around $3,000, warning that inability to hold through choppy markets often leads to buying midway through further declines. "I believe there will be a very good opportunity to buy the dip later," Yi stated, emphasizing that self-discipline during sideways action is critical. He added that the crypto industry's easy-gains phase has passed, and excess returns now require genuine improvements in market understanding and psychological resilience.
